proc transpose data=b out=c(drop=_name_);
run;


data d(drop=i resa resb resc);
set c;
format b1 b2 b3 percent6.;
array a[*] resa resb resc ;

The format will be retained when the transposed variables share the same format. Look at this example:

 

data a;
input year groupx respondents resa resb resc;
format resa resb resc z4.0;
cards;
2007 5 10 100 . .
2008 4 13 61 23 15
2009 5 13 38 53 7
2010 7 20 60 25 15
;

proc transpose data=a out=b;
by year groupx respondents notsorted;
var resa resb resc;
run;


proc transpose data=b out=c(drop=_name_);
by year groupx respondents notsorted;
var col1;
id _name_;
run;
